quote:They started off slow and have a young team. They just swept South Carolina and are playing some strong ball as of late. I personally believe their young guys may be hitting their stride and maybe turning things around. Florida comes to the Box soon...let me ask you this: would you rather of played them three weeks ago or as scheduled? I think most would say three weeks ago.

All very true valid statements. I guess personally I wouldn't put them in there quite yet. However, thats what voting is all about. Here's to America, democracy, LSU, and the TD.com poll making it to the front pages.

some people like to see the body of work, which florida has a poor one...but i personally like to rank the best teams at this moment in time depsite record. thats the beauty of having 20 pollsters though

I agree with this. UF could very well be in the top 10 by season's end and hosting a regional...just sayin'

ok..im the shmuck that voted Oregon state #1. the guilt and grief was too much for me to bear so i'm outing myself. ive only seen a handful of these teams play and i didn't want my lsu/sec bias to get in the way so i made a spreadsheet that relies too heavily on RPI. I really wanted to do a spreadsheet with stats (BA, ERA, margin of victory, etc.) but it was too much to enter in every week. garbage in garbage out

I like having you apart of this poll...The many different ways you guys come up with your Top 25 does nothing but help validate the poll. If you feel Oregon State is the best team in the country right now, so be it. Post your explanation as to why and tell people to DWI.
